Hilary Swank lent her support to a good cause yesterday by helping launch an around-the-world relay to raise money and awareness for the issue of providing safe drinking water for the 1.1 billion people who lack it. About 20 runners will run a whopping 15,000 miles through 16 countries over the next 95 days in the event, organized by the Blue Planet Run Foundation. "What if it were your job to carry in a rusty metal pail all the water you and your family would use for the day?" Swank the crowd at the race kickoff on the lawn of the U.N. "What if the water made you sick? What if you had no choice? I know I will never take a glass of water for granted again." The goal of Blue Planet, together with the U.N. and partly funded by Dow Chemical Co., is to bring safe drinking water to 20 billion people by 2020.

Hilary helps kickoff clean water fundraiser

Hilary's kindness gets her out of traffic ticket
Hilary Swank's recent good deed helped her get out of a speeding ticket. The Oscar winner was learning lines at an LA bakery and helped a woman with her groceries when she noticed all the staff were busy. Days later, Swank was pulled over for speeding on the Pacific Coast Highway by a cop who had witnessed her efforts. "He goes, 'Hey, Ms. Swank... You know what, you were speeding...but I'm gonna let you off for being a Good Samaritan,'" Swank said of the incident. "I said, 'What? What did I do?' and he said, 'I was at that bakery a few days ago when you got behind the counter and helped that woman, that actually happened to be the judge of Malibu.' The moral of the story is, if you're in a bakery and they're short-handed, get behind the counter - you never know when it's gonna help you out."
Is Hilary Swank HOT or NOT?
Indisputably an extraordinary actress, Hilary Swank isn't your average Hollywood Barbie doll.
Unusually large teeth, goofy ears and tomboy looks, she's fug, but a cute fug because she is a class act. And (pay attention Paris) class goes a long way. I love HIlary as an actress, but in my opinion she does not photograph well.
What's your opinion? Is Hilary Hot or Not?

Got an extra $8 million laying around?
While Hilary Swank jetted off to LA to get glammed up for the Golden Globes, her ex Chad Lowe was busy moving out of the Manhattan apartment the couple once shared. The couple bought the West Village townhouse in 2002 for $3.9 million, which has been listed on the market since last June for $8.25 million. Interested? Check it out for yourself here (it's lovely).
Hilary moves on
Hilary Swank talks about her newfound independence in the February issue of InStyle magazine. Swank announced her divorce from husband Chad Lowe last May. "I've never lived alone before," the Oscar-winner says. "I went from living with my mom right to living with Chad. Now with traveling a lot and not staying any place for long, I have a box filled with floating receipts, makeup I'll never wear, random dog toys, and a stack of greeting cards I pick out for friends, which inevitably end up in some storage unit." The Freedom Writers star also confirmed her rumored relationship with her agent, John Campisi, saying, "I'm in a relationship with a great guy who's not a public person, and I want to respect that. But, yes, I am in a relationship."
Hilary Swank Gets a Well Deserved Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame
Hilary Swank was honored Monday with something that many celebrities can only dream about.
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Hilary, 32, was born in Nebraska but grew up in a small college town in Northern Washington State where she starred in many small plays including 'The Jungle Book' when she was just nine years-old.
When she was 16 she moved to Los Angeles with her mother where for a short time the two had to live in their car.
Hilary's mother never lost faith in her little girl and before you knew it she started getting bit parts in films which eventually led to her Oscar winning career.
At the ceremony on the Walk of Fame Swank said, "I remember my mom using a roll of quarters to call agents from a pay phone and telling agents they should sign me."
Don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got. She's still Hilary Swank from the block.
